  Brews & Bastards Happy Hour Update

  Major Update for Brews & BastardsThe Happy Hour Update for Brews & Bastards is OUT NOW! We've got lots of changes big and small that we'll dig into soon, but first, wet your whistle on the update trailer! Pub CrawlThe biggest addition to this update is the new Rogue-Lite gameplay mode called Pub Crawl. This mode generates random combat, trap, item, shop rooms and enemy spawns, allowing for maximum replay-ability. Players can also select difficulty and run length options, tailoring each play-through to your specific play style. New Brews, New ArtifactsA supply of new brews and artifacts have been delivered to the brewery, while some others have been tweaked for more firepower! Exploding bananas, massive fireballs, bouncing ice-cubes and more. Descend under the tavern and discover all these new goodies.Even More FeaturesBut wait, there's more! We also chucked in a Drop-In Multiplayer option for those that were late to the party. A Single Stick Mode has also been added to the options menu, allowing you to aim and run with a single thumb. Speaking of options, Control Rebinding has also been included, for those that can't stand our default control scheme. Bugs and TweaksI'm not sure how many bugs and tweaks we've made over the months since release, but it's a lot. Overall the game plays a lot smoother and brews and artifacts feel better. Cleaned up some menu stuff and collision issues. Lots. Check it out. Cheers ta, -Mune Studio

  Holiday Hangover

  Drunken PlanningHello everyone! Long time, no updates. Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who has played Brews & Bastards since its launch in September last year. It means the world to us that people could finally play the game after almost 5 years in development. Now, We had updates planned at the end of 2025 which we had hoped to get out in November and December. While we made good progress on these updates, they turned out to be more work than we had anticipated! A little bit of burnout and a little bit of holidays kicked in and they had been pushed back till now. I apologize for the lack of communication and delay! The good news is that we've rolled all these updates into one big one! The Happy Hour update is coming soon (like real soon (like this week hopefully)). I'm here to show and tell some of the new things in this announcement, so here we go. Pub CrawlThe biggest update coming to the game is the Pub Crawl Mode. This is our perma-death Rogue-lite mode, where each room / enemy / item/ shop spawn is randomly generated. Players have options to customize the length and difficultly of each run as well. Bosses from the campaign will remain to challenge you in their amplified tavern game-themed arenas! We're excited to see people take on this version of the Muneshine Tavern, trying the new items and challenging themselves in the drunken depths! Brews and ArtifactsAlong with the brand new Pub Crawl mode are a hand picked selection of delicious New Brews and powerful New Artifacts. Here is a taste of just some of the new items you'll find under the tavern. Ice Cubes summon (surprisingly) big cubes of ice that bounce around and freeze enemies. Bottlecopters float around the player and blast enemies with corks. Fireball is perfect for setting everything in an area ablaze.Quality of LifeSince launch we've been gathering feedback and making progress on various quality of life changes. Here are the major QoL additions coming in the Happy Hour Update.Control Rebinds - A...

We can't wait to see everyone discover and use powerful brews against the hoards inebriated demons that are running rampant in the depths. We've put a lot of booze, sweat and tears (and love!) into Brews & Bastards, but there are still lots of things we're working on that didn't make it into the 1.0 release! We don't want to leave these cool modes and items on the cutting room floor, so we've laid out a short roadmap for planned additional content in 2025 and beyond!Roadmap!Below is an image outlining the roadmap for Brews & Bastards going forward.

  Brews & Bastards - Game Overview

  🍻 BREWS & BASTARDS 🍻A STORY ABOUT SOME GLORIOUS BASTARDS AND A COUPLE O' BREWSAs we draw nearer to the release of Brews & Bastards (final quarter 2025), we thought we'd shed some light on the game, like, "who are the Bastards?" and "what are the Brews?". Well, I think there's a bit of a Bastard in all of us, but more on that later. Let's start with the story. The almighty Brew Stone, a powerful gem with infinite booze generating power, has been stolen. Snatched from the Brewstone Chalice which had so graciously replenished our heroes after a day of hard yakka. Who could have stolen the Brew Stone? The heroes must descend to the dungeons to find out who took it and, more importantly, retrieve the Brew Stone - god forbid they start sobering up. The tale of our heroes is narrated by a charming little fellow from the tavern aptly named Martin Teeny🐁. Oh and there's a big handsome bartender, the "Beartender"🐻, who will keep you topped up with fresh brews on your journey.(Left: The Beartender. Right: Martin Teeny \)🍺PLAYABLE CHARACTERS (Bastards)🍺Remember how I said there's a bastard in all of us? Well some of us are good bastards (complementary) and some are bad bastards (derogatory). But let's start with our beloved Bastards - the four playable characters you can choose from before you descend to the dungeons below.Each with their own unique styles and abilities, the playable characters are: Rhine - the Rieslinger, Oak - the Keggernaught, Mugg - the Meadmancer, and last but not least, Chugg - the Beerzerker.Try out each character in single player or see them all in action with up to 4 player local co-op!👿ENEMIES (also Bastards)👿Down in the dungeons you will have to fight waves of drunken Bastards (derogatory) - nasty amalgamations of crusty old booze and brewing equipment. Sentient kegs with misshapen legs and foul Jell-O Shots with minds of their own are common down in the depths.👹BIG BASTARDS (Bosses)👹During your drunken mission, you'll butt heads with a bunch of Big ...
